Aiptek A-HD+ 1080P High Definition Camcorder (Silver)

I can't tell you how much of a hit this was 4 my son. He hasn't put it down. I did, however, purchase an extra battery - just in case.

This was a gift 4 my 12 year old daughter, it is way better than expected, she likes it alot. Not bad at all 4 the price.

Never buy this product! I bought mine from a certain online store. At first the camera works fine, true 2 its word it has a high definition video. I kept it in a special place, I even put some moisture absorber (dehumidifier) beside it 2 avoid the camera from getting moist. In other words I gave it a special treatment. But then, one day 4 no reason, it just won't operate. When I open the LCD, it's totally DEAD!! I know the problem is not in the battery because I test it using a multi tester. It's (the problem) in the video camera itself. When I tried contacting the support, he keeps redirecting me 2 another website, one was chinese & the other one is german which the latter don't offer support 4 this specific model. If you are a person who likes 2 be sure of what you are buying then this video camera is not 4 you. But if you are a person who has a "gambling" kind of attitude, then you may try this stupid camera. For me, Aiptek is just trying 2 look sophisticated so as 2 get a big profit from the market. Talk about durability & support??? PWEEH!!!! I will never buy Aiptek products again. I've learned my lesson the hard way. A single star 4 this stupid product.

easy 2 use, very small but without image stabilizer the video is very shaky. I do not have a tripod & would not use one..the point is, it is small & portable so why would you lug a tripod around!!!Low light quality seems suspect but will play around with the exposure over xmas 2 see if this improves. If no better & i do not master the shaky video situation i will return this product straight after xmas..i will follow up but right now i am thinking of upgrading 2 the Sanyo Xacti 1010.

When Sony Brand HD Camcorders cost $600+ & you can find a HD cam corder 4 135.99, that should raise some red flags

Pro's:
Cheap
Very Easy 2 use (recording). push 2 record, push 2 stop. no pause feature. will just make new movies
Small & Light weight
easy 2 transfer files from camera 2 windows

Con's:
Poor overall quality
Video recording stutters, when playback video jumps
Have 2 hold the camera dead still, or else it gets super blurry or it will stutter
I was recording my cats tail with the HD 60fps function & tail still appears as a blur, I am suspicious that this fucntion actually works

the biggest con 4 me is the video stuttering play back. some scenarios its so bad it looks like a slide show. All the videos ive recorded have this artifact

here is an example i uploaded
